Isothermal remanent magnetisation (IRM) acquired and measured both at room temperature and at low temperature (77K) provides data which define a set of new parameters: AIRMlc provides information about the fraction of superparamagnetic ferrimagnetics in the studied samples; parameters C and g, respectively, inform about absolute and relative contents of goethite, and parameters B and b discern the fraction of goethite, in superparamagnetic state. The proposed methodology is applied to the study of cave sediments from the palaeo-anthropological site of AtapuercaspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Rock magnetismEnvironmental magnetismSedimentsAtapuercajournal articleopen access
